Virunga

VIRUNGA is the incredible true story of a group of brave people risking their lives to build a better future in a part of Africa the world has forgotten, one of the most bio-diverse places in the world and home to the last of the mountain gorillas. It is a gripping expose of a UNESCO World Heritage site under threat from armed militias, poachers and companies struggling to control Congo's rich natural resources.
The film had its World Premiere at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival.
